Words of wisdom...

Fr. Ralph and FW Commissioner Mathes with Borchert 

...were given by none other than Andrew Borchert '15, the newest inductee into the Order of Gentleman. At the Founder's Week Dinner held in the Oak Room of South Dining Hall, Borchert imparted not only words of wisdom but also some of his accounting knowledge...a real treat. Later, Borchert was recognized for his service to the Hall- offering his accounting knowledge to improve the finances of Ed's, increasing the fund raising efforts of the Hall, and ensuring the Yacht Dance for years to come- and was inducted into the Hall's Order of Gentleman for "action faithful and honor clear to Hall and King." While he will be remembered along with other recipients by a plaque in the Hall's main lobby, Borchert was given at the end of the dinner a small plaque and a specially minted coin commemorating this high honor. On his induction, Borchert said, "It is an honor and a privilege." No, Andrew. It was a honor and privilege for us!
